Coming into the All-Star break as the hottest team in baseball, the Red Sox could have easily lost their momentum after four days away from the ballpark.
Fortunately, it was obvious by the third inning Friday that the Red Sox still had their mojo.
On a night when the ball was flying out of Wrigley Field, the Red Sox picked up right where they left off and crushed a season-high six home runs to beat the Chicago Cubs, 8-3, in the second-half opener. In doing so they’ve now won six straight, along with nine of their last 10 dating back to June 30.
